The Lost De'Luca

Chapter Seventy Three

Matteo's pov-
She's gone, she's really gone. They took her away from us again, my chest tightened as memories of my time there began to resurface

I sat in a corner, not paying attention. The beatings, she won't be able to handle them. What if they touch her like they touched me?

Tears blurred my vision and I buried my face in my hands. I felt someone touch me and I looked up to see Xander

"It's gonna be okay" he said in a gruff voice

"No it's not! They're gonna hurt her like they hurt us fuck!" I snapped in frustration, clutching my hair tightly

"She's strong, stronger than us. She'll be fine" he said but it sounded like he was trying to convince himself. I looked at him and saw the tears in his eyes

Seeing his tears made mine fall rapidly. A sob left my lips and I buried my face in my hands again. If there is a God out there, please save my sister

"Calm down Teo. S-she's gonna be okay" He said and pulled me into a hug

"She won't be able to handle it. You know that Xan, those punishments, the beatings, oh God the beatings!" I mumbled in his chest as more tears fell

"Shh it's alright. Everything's gonna be fine, Tony will get her back, he has to" he said soothingly

"Will she really be okay?" I asked and he fell silent

"She'll be fine" he said after some time

Antonio's pov-
We received a call from the gate saying a strange car had arrived. I knew it was the Cobra leader

"Let him in" I said and hung up. I ran my hand through my hair tiredly

Shortly after the call, the door bell rang and Dom opened the door and the leader of the Cobra gang walked into our house

"Don Antonio" he said with a friendly smile

"Derek Frost" I said back with no emotion

"So what happened over here?" He asked, making himself comfortable on our couch

"My sister has been kidnapped" I said in a low tone

"You already found her? Mafia princess?" He asked and I noticed her friends expressions changing

"Dad did you say mafia princess?" The boy asked

"Yes son, we are currently standing in the house of the Italian/American mafia" Derek said nonchalantly

"Bloody fuckin hell" the boy said again

"That doesn't matter. Your son said something about being able to help" I cut in before they could say anything else

"Ah yes, we will help in any way we can" he said

"I thought the Cobras withdrew from our borders?" Stephano asked as he eyed Derek, eyes filled with suspicion

"That was my father, I have nothing against your mafia. Infact I'd like if we renewed our partnership, allies?" Derek offered

I thought about in for some time before nodding and shaking his hand

"Then it's settled. Let's get your princess back" Derek said

Gabriella's pov-
I was woken up by water being splashed on my face.

"Would you look at that, the princess is finally awake" i heard a familiar voice and I looked up to see Lexi or should I say Viktoria

"Hello cousin" I said with a sarcastic smile and her face darkened
